Daiwa Free Swimmer BR Spinning Reel
Product Description
The Daiwa Free Swimmer BR (Bite 'N' Run) spinning reel is engineered for anglers who demand precision and durability in diverse fishing conditions. Developed through a five-year collaborative effort involving Daiwa engineers from the USA, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan, this dual-drag reel is specifically designed to excel in popular straylining and live-baiting styles, particularly for targeting species like Kingfish and Snapper.
Featuring a secondary rear drag system, the Free Swimmer BR allows fish to take bait with minimal line tension, ensuring optimal hook sets before you engage the main fighting drag with a turn of the handle. This series offers versatility with compact LT (Light/Tough) models for inshore fishing and robust 8000/10000 models for offshore trophy hunting.
Built with a strong, carbon composite frame and an Air Rotor, the Daiwa Free Swimmer BR boasts carefully sealed internals with rubber seals, making it a true saltwater-ready Bite 'N' Run reel. It integrates a host of advanced Daiwa technologies, including Air Rotor, ATD Drag, and Tough Digigear, culminating in Daiwa's best-performing Bite 'N' Run reel to date.
| Model | Ball Bearings | Drag Pressure | Gear Ratio | Spool Capacity | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free Swimmer BR 5000 | 5/1 | 10kg | 5.2:1 | Braided Line (PE) 1.5/300m | 25lb (0.40mm)/150m | 290gm |
| Free Swimmer BR 8000 | 5/1 | 10kg | 4.7:1 | Braided Line (PE) 4/300m | 630gm |
| Free Swimmer BR 10000 | 5/1 | 10kg | 4.7:1 | Braided Line (PE) 5/300m | 640gm |
- Bite 'N' Run: A crucial technology for live or dead bait anglers, allowing fish to take baits under minimal line tension. This ensures a solid hook set. The rear drag can be easily adjusted to provide optimum tension for various fishing scenarios.
- Air Rotor: Lighter, stronger, and more balanced than previous rotor systems, the Air Rotor represents a significant advancement in design and function. It provides ultimate line roller support. Constructed from Zaion, its redesigned arch disperses pressure to the lower section of the rotor, reducing stressing and flexing. The hollowed-out construction further reduces weight while increasing reel sensitivity and rotational balance.
- ATD Drag (Automatic Tournament Drag): Daiwa's ATD Drag system utilises an improved drag grease that maintains low viscosity at rest, yet becomes more viscous immediately upon drag start-up. This innovation reduces initial drag start-up inertia, and combined with the structural enhancements of the ATD Drag System, results in a smoother drag performance from the initial hook-up.
- Tough Digigear: An evolution of the original Digigear, Tough Digigear is Daiwa's digitally designed, machine-cut gearing system. It ensures ultimate gear precision, rotational smoothness, and robust strength, providing reliable performance in demanding conditions.
